Shadow Priest Netherlight Crucible Recommendations

This section of the Shadow Priest Guide explains the best relic trait choices for the Netherlight Crucible, a new system of artifact weapon progression added in Patch 7.3 Legion.

Netherlight Crucible Overview

The Netherlight Crucible is a new system added in Patch 7.3. The Crucible allows you further empower your Artifact Weapon, by specializing and increasing the power from your relics. With it, each relic receives a small talent tree that you can select new traits from, depending how many traits your weapon have. Do not worry, however, because with the changes to Artifact Knowledge, unlocking the full power of the Crucible won't take long. Learn everything about this new system in our Netherlight Crucible Guide.

To figure out what path is best to use, please use this sheet to calculate it. (It will save you a lot of hassle!)

Tier 3 Traits

For the final tier, there are three options of traits present on relics normally. Those options are random, but can't be the same trait given by the relic. They aren't limited to traits that give throughput, and can be utility traits.

We've relisted the Relic Recommendation section from the Shadow Priest Guide to help you choose.
